When I use the code
DoCmd.SendObject,,,,, with False indicating Send e-
mail without editing - I get the warning message

A program is attempting to send the following e-mail
message on your behalf
Would you like to send the message

I would like the e-mail to be sent automatically.
What am I doing wrong?
 
Alan,

You're not doing anything wrong; what you are seeing is the built-in Outlook
Security Prompt, which appears when applications attempt to use certain
Outlook properties and methods. Had you set the last argument to True (Edit
the email before sending), Outlook itself opens and the security prompt does
not appear. The most complete list of possible work-arounds has been
provided by Outlook MVP Sue Mosher and is as follows:

BEGIN QUOTED MATERIAL:

"If you're the administrator in an Exchange Server environment, you can
reduce the impact of the security prompts with administrative tools. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm

"If it's an application you wrote yourself, you can use one of these
approaches to redo the program:

-- Use Extended MAPI (see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/mapi.htm) and C++
or Delphi; this is the most secure method and the only one that Microsoft
recommendeds.

-- Use Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/), a third-party
COM library that wraps around Extended MAPI but parallels the Outlook Object
Model

-- Use SendKeys to "click" the buttons on the security dialogs that your
application may trigger. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec for a link to sample
code.

-- Program the free Express ClickYes
(http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) tool to start suspended
and turn it on only when your program needs to have the buttons clicked
automatically."
